Saturday August 28th.

Well, today is my 20 year high school reunion. The thought of being up early this morning, doing my long run, and being up late tonight and potentially dancing had me second guessing do this run. I decided that I needed the mileage.
I began this morning at 6 am to make sure I was home in time for the boys soccer practice. I ran from home through Chino Hills State Park to Green River and back. Started feeling a little tight, but soon loosened up. The outside of my left calf was a little stiff/tight. Throughout the run though it never really was a problem. Near the beginning of the trail, there were several training groups and the urge to go faster was great. I had to make sure I was keeping my pace and heart rate low enough though.I tried eating Cliff Blocks today. Not too bad and went down fairly easy. I can't tell if I saw any results. Possibly kept me from cramping. I finished the last hill feeling strong. Total ascent was 1688 feet in the 18 miles.
